    May be worth trying "cash clothing" if the base you are on has such a thing? Sorry I can't help any more than that, RM units used to carry them in cash clothing.
    And ze little fellow , if you are lonley in ze night i vill be in the old chatau, is no pressure...

    White shirt with a collar ?
    Where is your problem?
    I´m sure you can still get them in one of the many outlets in the Sudring Center. That is where I got mine from during almost 10 years serving in Paderborn/Sennelager.

    I suppose it depends on what type of shirt the OPs unit require to be worn. If he needs a golf ball pattern I dont think he will be able to purchase it down town.
    The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.

    Okay, it hasn´t been asked up till now so I will.
    What Regt or Corps are you and what do the dress regs say ?
    Why pay over the odds for an "official" shirt when you can get a satisfactory one for less than half the price down town.?

    Does he need a golf-ball pattern shirt ?
    Is it stated in regs ?
    I heard enough REME (my own Corp) guys stating it had to be, but they could never justify it. Being a tech I got promoted into the Sgts Mess rather quickly and I never wore a golf-ball pattern, just a white dress shirt, no extras, no port-fines and that over at least 10 yeas.
